South Causey Inn Wedding Photography – Louise & Dan

Louise & Dan

“We could not have asked for a better photographer than Ray for our wedding. He had everyone so relaxed and in hysterics. We had so much fun. Thanks very much Ray xx”

How did you both meet?

I worked with Dan’s mam and I talked her into having people back at her’s after a night out. Luckily Dan was home. Tequila, orange and cinnamon shots followed… the rest is history.

Why did you chose your venue over all the others?

We only ever looked at the South Causey Inn. Dan had sent me photos of the venue when he was working nearby. I had decided it was where we were getting married before Dan had even proposed.

Why did you select Ray as your South Causey Inn wedding photographer?

We found that the photographer was the hardest thing to decide on in the whole wedding process. I was so relieved when I found Ray on Instagram, his photos were natural and fun but had something a little bit different too. We were so glad we had chosen Ray after our pre-wedding meeting; driving home we both commented that he would fit in as one of our guests.

What was the highlight of your day?

The highlight of our day was everyone dancing non stop. It’s lovely to see everyone you love enjoying themselves and celebrating you both. It was a great atmosphere and everyone was so happy.

Advice for other brides and grooms?

Relax and enjoy yourselves because whatever is going to happen will happen, regardless of how much you stress.

“Ray shot our wedding on Sunday 24th March and what can we say, the Images are outstanding – we can’t stop looking at them! So happy we chose Ray to shoot our wedding and he did not disappoint. All of our guests got on with Ray and as did we. His work is fantastic, we felt it was really important to get someone who is professional, confident and knowledgeable regarding photography and to find someone who would capture our full day and get top quality Images and Ray has blew us away. We would highly recommend, thank you for everything. Love Mr & Mrs Williamson x”

“There aren’t enough wonderful words in the world to describe Ray or the pictures that he’s taken. They are out of this world amazing. You were everything we hoped to find in a photographer and more. Your laid back, down to earth, relaxed approach and your humour made our day even more amazing than it already was.”

“Ray did our wedding on the 5th November 2018!! He made us feel at ease as I’m not one who likes photos taken. He stayed with us till late and took as many photos as he possibly could. The photos where amazing, even better than I imagined them to be. I can’t wait to see which one’s belle bridal have chose to use in their magazine. Thanks for doing such an amazing job. I would well and truly recommend Ray to do photos for any wedding!”

“We booked Ray for our wedding on the 23rd November. Met him previously at a friends wedding where he was also their photographer and again had a pre meeting with him before ours, he instantly makes himself a friend which is comforting on a day filled with nerves as this puts you at ease. He gets on with everyone and becomes apart of the party! Our photos are amazing, his quick turnaround is incredible and does not lack quality due to this, I love each and every one of them and we’re now in the dilemma of only choosing certain ones to print. Highly recommended! Thank you so much! X”

“Fantastic service! Ray was accommodating, organised, diligent with details and so very amicable. My husband Dean, and I hired Ray to do our wedding photos, initially for a date in July but had to push the wedding date to November. Ray was accommodating, pleasant to interact with and just an all-round star when it came to this! We were particularly impressed with how organised he was, with the provision of login details that gave us access to invoices, forms we had filled out for him as well as an eventual resting place for our photographs. Not sure if this is the norm nowadays but it’s these details that made us feel very secure in our choice in the run-up to the wedding. On the big day itself, Ray was punctual, well prepared and friendly. He was particularly quick and efficient when it came to the couple portraits (thankfully, because it was a freezing day on a windy hilltop!), taking only 10-20 minutes to get the shots he had planned and taking some impromptu ones I wanted as well. The results were spectacular! Couldn’t recommend him enough!”

“Ray did an amazing job and took every picture we asked him too. Nothing was too much. He was friendly and comfortable having him there. It was as though he were one of the guests as the atmosphere around him was so relaxed. He kept an eye on the weather too, ensuring we had photo’s taken at the best time. He made everything work. I would highly recommend Ray. We’ve had loads of comments on our photo’s about how amazing they are. Thanks a lot Ray.”
